Phonic Books Dandelion Instructional Manuals

This teacher guide is an essential resource for using Dandelion Launchers and Dandelion Readers for children learning to read

These guides designed for teachers provide an overview of phonics, including explanations of key phonic concepts, terms and methodologies; an overview of the Phonic Books programme; assessment; and guidance for pronunciation and teaching of high-frequency words. There are also structured lesson plans for varying amounts of time. These plans are full of engaging and effective activities which are easy to implement.

Phonics teacher guide features:

• A time-saving guide for teachers to help with lesson planning and preparation.
• Jargon-busting explanations and step-by-step easily implemented lessons, especially for anyone new to teaching phonics.
• Activities included, such as word building and word chains, that will engage pupils and implement previously taught skills.

Each guide conveniently breaks down each lesson into five main sections: Revision, Preparation, Application, Consolidation and Tracking Progress. This enables each lesson to meet the phonics requirements, as well as more general literacy requirements and ensure pupils are concurrently learning how to read for meaning from the start.
